142. They give too much (6000 words)(2/2)
...
With 36 wins and 9 losses, the Lakers immediately stopped the decline after playing against the Bulls. When they returned to Los Angeles, there were flowers and applause again...
"Aix, the league invites you to participate in the slam dunk contest!"
"...Push off, the person I'm waiting for hasn't come yet."
"You have also been invited by the three-point contest and the skills challenge!"
"Does the alliance want to see me laugh? Don't go!"
"Aix, there is a Japanese Amnesty Company in Tsunya who invites you to be the spokesperson."
“…”
"They also want to invite you to make movies when you have time."
“…”
"They have money and give it very high!"
"I refuse!"
"5 million yuan in pay."
"JPY?"
"USD!"
"You tell them I am a big fan of special films and I'm happy to have in-depth cooperation with them."
“…”
After hanging up the phone with Pelinka, Zhang Hao deeply felt what it means to be "a rookie is always right". Of course, this is based on his long-term good play.
Otherwise, it is "whatever a rookie does is wrong."
Just like Grant Hill last season, his record was so bad. He performed well in his personal performance and was directly given the All-Star Ticket King position.
"It's the 4th today, and the voting will be over at 12 noon. The final result will be announced tomorrow at noon. I should be fine if I start the All-Star, right? Can I become the vote king?"
It is false to say that you don’t expect it. Of course you don’t care when you don’t have a chance, but now his popularity is not inferior to Grant Hill last season. The bonus of that 17-game winning streak has helped a huge amount. The final votes will be announced soon, so of course he is not looking forward to it.
"Prepare for the last two games before the half-time! I wonder if I can become the second team that has lost less than 10 games in the half-time?"
Zhang Hao was really looking forward to his team's record of 36 wins and 9 losses.
The Bulls have only lost 6 games so far, and there is only one game left before the All-Stars weekend, so they naturally have to lose less than 10 games in half.
But these two opponents...
The Nets and Jazz are not bad, and the second opponent at home is the Jazz!
At the beginning of the season, the Lakers lost to the Jazz once. At that time, Mr. Zhang had not come yet. After he came, the Lakers won both times.
Once, when the Jazz were in good shape, they won head-on by the Lakers. The second time they won was Utah's double evil spirits in a sluggish state.
They are currently leading 2-1... As a possible second round matchup, for the last time this season's regular season, Zhang Hao estimated that the opponent would definitely play very hard, and no one wanted to meet in the playoffs with the psychological disadvantage of falling behind in the regular season...
Just as Zhang Hao was thinking, a subtitle suddenly appeared in his sight.
Before I could read the content, Zhang Hao knew something was wrong...
"Brother, I just thought about it, don't be so serious!"
...
...
On February 5, the Lakers will usher in their last back-to-back first game before the All-Star Weekend tonight, facing the Nets at home.
The morning preparation... They are preparing for tomorrow's game with the Jazz. The amount is not large, so they just had a training class. At 11 o'clock, Del Harris announced the end of today's preparation.
As for the opponent at night... the Lakers probably don't know what kind of game they will play and what kind of cooperation they will cooperate. It's really difficult to make the Lakers predict!
It's better to perform on the spot then.
However, after the training, the players did not leave and concentrated in the lounge and discussed it hotly.
The magician who has always been smiling in everything has also been a little nervous today.
He was the All-Star starter in the rookie year, but in the second grade, he was injured because coach Paul Westhead asked him to play power forward. Then he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Westhead, who was well-known in Los Angeles at the time, hoping that the Lakers would change coaches, which affected his reputation. Both second and third grades were selected as All-Star starters. It was not until the third grade that he won the championship again and was selected as All-Star starter again in the fourth season. It was not until he retired, including the 91-92 season that he did not play in a game.
At this time, the magician pulled the rookie who was still calm and looked calm and kicked him wildly...
Zhang Hao is also looking forward to it, but he is used to being calm on the surface when there are too many people.
At 12 noon, the midday news program of CNY began.
It soon got to the point, at 12:05, the results of the NBA All-Star voting were announced!
The first thing to be announced is the number of votes in the East, with the selected players from low to high.
Anfini Hardaway ranked second with 1.56 million votes in the Eastern Conference defender.
Scott Pippen ranked second in the Eastern Conference forward with 1.71 million votes.
O'Neal ranked first in the Eastern Conference center with 1.88 million votes.
Michael Jordan ranked first in the Eastern Conference defender with 1.96 million votes.
Grant Hill ranked first in all players in the Eastern Conference with 1.99 million votes! It is temporarily ranked the top vote!
The Lakers locker room was shocked by the number of votes!
Last year, Grant Hill's 1.28 million votes had greatly increased its highest vote in history, setting a new high this year, almost exceeding 2 million!
At the same time, my teammates were so nervous that this number of votes... can Zhang Hao surpass it?
Zhang Hao was also worried about gains and losses. If there was no chance at all, he naturally didn't care, but he felt that he really had a chance. If he didn't get in... he would definitely not be able to escape if he was depressed.
Also, can the magician enter?
After the Eastern Conference first release was announced, the top ten votes outside the starting release were also announced.
The gap is huge, with the third place in the defender and forward not half of the second place, and the center not half of the time.
Joe Dumas, the defender, had 520,000 votes, which was only one-third of Anfini Hardaway, and Mooning's 730,000 votes were just a fraction of O'Neal's.
The votes to the west are announced!
The first name made the locker room of the home team of the Great Western Forum Arena boil!
Elvin Johnson, 1.31 million votes, Western Conference All-Star Starting Guard!
The first one to be announced is definitely the one with the lowest votes among the players selected as the Western Conference All-Star starter, but if you enter, you will be in!
"Hahahaha... All-Stars can't beat people. I invited them to Miami for vacation during All-Star weekend. I just bought a yacht. I used it for you to play for the first time. I won't go. I'm going to participate in All-Stars weekend..."
"Boss is so generous!"
"Boss, I must often go to your fast food restaurant for dinner!"
“Is order takeaway reimbursement in Miami?”
“…”
“Reimbursement reimbursement…”
The magician was also very happy and was ready to spend money!
He has not been idle in the past few years since he retired. He has opened a chain fast food brand with a market value of nearly 200 million. It is not certain whether the Lakers boss or him is richer.
Next, Zhang Hao won the vote...
The second announced name is Drexler, also the Western Conference defender, with 1.38 million votes.
Before Zhang Hao's name came out, his teammates were not surprised. Zhang Hao's votes exceeded Drexler early. He was the last one to announce his name in the West. He also hoped that Zhang Hao's name would be the last one to see Zhang Hao's name. Only in the end can he be the vote king!
The third name is Olajuwon, with 1.75 million votes.
Finally got taller!
If there were 130,000 votes in the west, they would be heartbroken.
The fourth name... Charles Barkley, 1.86 million votes!
The real high votes! The votes that are almost the same as O'Neal!
“200…200…200…”
In the lounge, people started to yell at the same time "2 million" in unison. This kind of thing never means that people who don't have the chance don't care.
Who doesn't care?
My team has an All-Star Ticket King, just like "What's wrong with my friend?", the capital to brag in your spare time!
This also shows the Lakers' team atmosphere.
Zhang Hao also stared at the screen. At this moment, calmness could not be maintained!
The host of CNTV pretended to analyze a lot of people who received the highest votes in the West. After analyzing the probability and predicting that the final votes were finally scrapped!
"zhang-hao, 2.18 million votes, the first vote in the West in the starting voting for the San Antonio All-Stars weekend! The first vote in the league!"
Chapter completed!
